Intro: (3x) Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world 'Cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls I was looking for a lady Someone to have my baby So I got me on a 747 Pan America plane I sat me down next to your all American dame Said, "I'm going up North", she said, "It's a pity" Then she told me all about the gold down in Mexico City Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying Every morning and every night to get you out of your head (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list Do you carry a gun, take drugs, or are you Communist? They said my papers were in order I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going South across the border Ah, she said Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying Every morning and every night to get you out of your head (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) Oh, man oh, Lordy, Lordy needs a natural high When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) (Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy) Instrumental:
